Spare money to hide? What is this you speak of? Might find a rusty old quid down the back of the sofa.

I have a cash float with me on the weekly food shop in case card function goes down. Strange but the other week it was the cash drawer at the till which failed so it was card only. Best have both handy!

There’s a builder next door to me that keeps all his off the books cash in a hidden cavity under the bedroom wooden floor (I made the hidden hatch in the floor for him).

Cash always works,in a power cut,if the internet goes down or the card system crashes.cash is there in an emergency.Cash is freedom.I need cash for when people have volume and/or quality to sell.Its nothing to do with being dodgy,avoiding this or that.Cash is simple and quick.

Cash is anything but convenient for me, but guess we're all different. For the rare occasions when we have a power cut etc (and shops' systems would be offline in a power cut anyway) it's not worth the hassle to me. I can see you work in a very different business to me so horses for courses.

I have used cash in shops that have had a power cut.Its the only payment that works in that scenario.Staff simply list the item/number of items,then when the power comes back,scan items from the shelves,put them back.Add cash to till.Figures balance,stock level correct.

I've had about 2 power cuts in 5 years and both lasted about 15 mins so I didn't need to shop.

Lots of people like cash, I get that, but I don't think we need to have loads of contingency options in the UK, given power cuts and the like are rare. I would have thought the greater risk of having loads of cash in the house comes from being burgled. But I can't say enough: we're all different. You'll have the last laugh in the zombie apocalypse.

A friend of mine has a safe with a few grand in kept in a pretty obvious place in his house. He reckons if he's burgled they'd go for that and be happy they got it.

His real (big wads of) money is hiding in pain sight actually.

Interesting theory and not yet tested. I'm waiting for my opportunity

I reckon there must be loads of money stashed somewhere in my house. Because it isn't in my bank account and I'm sure I should have more than I do.

This could be wishful thinking though.

I keep a small cash float as my window cleaner,gardener and chiropodist all prefer cash.

I also have a much larger sum for wheeling and dealing and which I call my Rainy Day fund.

The card networks do fail - rarely but when it happens everything shuts down. It hasn’t happened for a few years but the last time I did I was in London and couldn’t get home as I had no cash on me. Always have a spare note or two in my pocket - almost never used but there for the emergency.

It's not about having the last laugh it's about having the choice.If your money is well hidden it's not at risk from burgulars,but if someone is going to leave it in a draw or flap their mouth like a cows arse in may about having large quantities of cash around the house that's their malfunction.By the way people have been forced to reveal their pin numbers during burgularies,the cards then used to the max.If you have only had two power cuts in five years you are very lucky.Outside London and in more rural areas they are a lot more common and last longer just by virtue of it taking longer for repair crews to get to the problem.
